  • I’m not crazy about it. I feel something that is negatively impacting movie villains, specifically monsters, is the removal of mystery about who or what they are. Fleshing out the hero of the film allows room for relatability, but opening that door for villains has been a bad thing for me personally speaking when it comes to enjoying the story.

    Perfect example of mystery for a villain would be Anton Chigurh (movie-wise). His character was so mysterious, along with his motives and goals (which was only retrieving the briefcase) that I equate him as practically being a movie monster, because death surrounded him, and fear along with it. That’s how I think the xenos should be looked at, and the engineers should be even more mysterious.
